Welcome to my personal website !

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at École d’Actuariat, Université Laval (Québec, Canada). I completed my PhD in Mathematics and Modelling at UMR MISTEA - INRAE, Université de Montpellier (Montpellier, France). I defended my thesis on October 10, 2025. The manuscript is available here and the defense slides (in French) here.

Research interests

My research focuses on the structure of optimal solutions in constrained deterministic and stochastic control systems. More broadly, I am interested in the interplay between control theory and modelling, and how it contributes to understanding complex systems in natural sciences and engineering, particularly in contexts involving uncertainty, limited observability, or imperfect model knowledge. These settings raise questions about the robustness and performance guarantees of optimal strategies in non-deterministic frameworks. A central motivation of my work is the study of optimal strategies for resource management in systems exposed to uncertainty and extreme events.

Research overview

PhD work

During my PhD, I worked on crop irrigation decision support tools in the context of climate change and water resource preservation. Both analytical and numerical approaches were developed to study optimal irrigation strategies under state constraints, deficit irrigation frameworks, and weather variability and uncertainties. This project relied on a double modelling approach, combining a theoretical optimal control model with the operational simulation tool Optirrig.

Current research

My current research explores stochastic optimal control problems with constraints, with particular interest in jump systems and applications to areas such as agriculture, insurance, epidemiology, and resource management under uncertainty.
